Paper/fabric composite used in the manufacture of bags, cases and covers

Abstract

A paper/fabric composite behaving like a fabric sheet material with all the benefits of paper includes a Kraft paper and a viscose fabric laminated to the Kraft paper. The composite may be formed into a case including a first piece of the paper/fabric composite and a second piece of the paper/fabric composite. The first piece of the paper/fabric composite and the second piece of the paper/fabric composite being sewn together to form the case. Furthermore some functional components of the cases may be supplemented by a paper/biopolymer composite.
